Fariq Naik – One May Get Two Opposite Labels for the Same Act

00:00:00 --> 00:00:04

			The media says Muslims are
terrorists. What is the meaning of
		

00:00:04 --> 00:00:07

			the word Terrorist? Terrorist, by
definition means a person who
		

00:00:07 --> 00:00:11

			causes terror. When our robot sees
a policeman, he's terrified. So
		

00:00:11 --> 00:00:15

			for the robber, the policeman is a
terrorist. I'm aware that this
		

00:00:15 --> 00:00:20

			word terrorist is more commonly
used in order to terrorize an
		

00:00:20 --> 00:00:21

			innocent human being.
		

00:00:22 --> 00:00:26

			And many times, two different
labels are given to the same
		

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

			person for the same activity.
		

00:00:29 --> 00:00:34

			More than 60 years back, before
India gain its freedom, and India
		

00:00:34 --> 00:00:37

			was ruled by the Britishers. There
are people who are fighting for
		

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

			the freedom of the country. And
these people by the British
		

00:00:39 --> 00:00:43

			government. They were called as
terrorist were as by the common
		

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46

			Indians, they were called as
freedom fighters, same people,
		

00:00:47 --> 00:00:51

			same activity, but two different
labels. If you agree with the view
		

00:00:51 --> 00:00:54

			of the British government, that
the Britishers had come to rule
		

00:00:54 --> 00:00:58

			over India, then you would call
these people as terrorist. Where
		

00:00:58 --> 00:01:01

			as if you agree with the view of
the common Indians, that the
		

00:01:01 --> 00:01:04

			Britishers that come to the train,
there are no right to rule over
		

00:01:04 --> 00:01:08

			us. Then you would call these
people as freedom fighters as
		

00:01:08 --> 00:01:12

			patriots seeing people seem
activity but two different labor
